Amritsar: The Border Security Force (BSF) on Friday handed over a Pakistani national to the Pakistan Rangers at the International Boundary (IB) in the Amritsar district of Punjab.
Official sources said that the individual had inadvertently crossed into Indian territory the previous day, as per the Border Security Force (BSF) statement.
BSF personnel noticed suspicious movement near the border adjacent to Mullakot village in the Amritsar district on Thursday evening. The troops swiftly apprehended the individual upon unauthorised entry into Indian territory.
Following a detailed inquiry by BSF and intelligence agencies, it was determined that the Pakistani national had crossed the IB unknowingly. A search of his belongings revealed no suspicious items apart from personal effects.
On Friday, the BSF and Pakistan Rangers convened a flag meeting at the latter’s request. During the discussions, Indian officials raised concerns over Pakistani authorities’ failure to prevent such unauthorised crossings. Subsequently, around 4:30 pm, the detained Pakistani citizen was repatriated on humanitarian grounds as a goodwill gesture.
The BSF reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining strict vigilance along the border while upholding humanitarian considerations in appropriate cases.
